Cricket 1903

284 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 16, 1903. THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS WEEK. THE LANCASHIRE MATCH. Played on July 13, 14 and 15. Lancashire won l)y six wickets. Ia the first innings of this match the Kent batting was very disappointing, aDd not a single man ever became really well set. The scoring throughout the inDiogs was very slow, and only 136 runs were made in the course cf thiee hours and a quarter. Lanca­ shire went in with an hour and a half before them, and although they began very badly by losing three wickets for 43, Tyldeeley and Maclaren came to the rescue, and were both not out when stump3 were drawn, the former with 69, the latter with 48. Total 137 for three wickets. The two men added 44 more tuds before their partnership was broken; it had produced 138 runs in an hour and forty minutes. Tbe rest of the team did very little, but Lancashire had a lead of 123. Dillon and Alec Hearne went in first for Kent in the second innings, and the former played a splencid defensive game, beirg still at the wickets at the end of tha day with 79 to hi* credit. Burnup and Hutchings also played well. When stumps were drawn the total was 214 for 5 wickets, so that Kent were now 91 runs on, and there was a prospect of a good finish. The tail played up well yesterday, ana Lancashire had to make 190 to win. Spooner was out for one run, but Garnett and i^ldesley,by careful play, improved matters. Garnett played a beautiful innings. Maclaren did not do much, but Eccles and Hornby stayed together until the match was won. K e x t . First innings. C. J. Buroup, b Barnes ... 18 E. W.

After a heavy fall of rain at Nottingham on the previous evening, the first day’s play in this match gave the bowlers an opportunity of which they for the most part availed themselves. For once the Sussex men, who won the toss, were a long time about making their runs, and allhough their innings lasted for more than four hours, they only succeeded in putting up 192 runs. The only long stand in the in­ nings *as between Killick and Ranjiteinhji. who put on 73 in an hour and a quarter for the third wicket. Brann also batted well, and Fry seemed to have become quite settled, when he was out for 27. Notts had forty minute3 batting, and the first two men, Jones and Iremonger, gave their opponents a lesson in the art of scoring quickly, for they made 55 before stumps were drawn, and were still together. Tues­ day’s play was chiefly noticeable for thesteady batting of Iremonger, who kept in until ten minutes before the innings ended, and scored a hundred after a stay at the wickets of four hours and twenty minutes. Anthony made a useful and attractive 42. Before lunch play was interrupted for half an hour by the very bad light. Sussex had to go in against a balance of 49, and Fry and Vine knocked this off ia about an hour. They were both doing very well indeed, when Vine was run out at 67, while Fry at the same total was caught at cover-point. These accidents happened just before time, and when stumps were drawn, Sussex, with eight wickets ia hand, were 26 runs on. Yesterday, on a wicket on which a lot of rain had fallen during ihe night, Killick, Relf and Smith all played good cricket, a n d in the e n d Notts had to make 172 to win in two hours and three-quarters. Jones and Iremonger set about the task of making ru n 9 quickly, but after they were separated the side seemed to give up hope of winning and played for a draw. S u s s e x . First innings. C. B.

Played at Worcester on July 13, 14 and 15. Worcestershire won by ‘215 runs. As will be seen in “ Gossip,” the Americans not only had the misfortune to be unable to make use of the services of King and Lester, but soon after the Worcestershire innings commenced accidents hap­ pened to Scattergood and Bates, whose places were then taken by Jordan and Graves. Thus severely han­ dicapped they had but little apparent chance of coming out of the match with much credit, and by the time that the first day’splay was ended they seemed likely to be easy victims to Worcestershire, who had scored 388 against 71 for six wickets, of which Graves made 35. In the absence of King, who was, of course, very greatly missed, Le Roy bowled very well indeed. In their uphill task the Americans showed the greatest pluck on Tuesday, P. H. Clark, Jordan, and Morris all greatly distinguishing themselves. But despite these fine efforts Worcestershire had a lead of 155 runs, and although they did not do so well in their second innirgs as ia their first, they were 813 runs on at the close of the day with four wicket8 in hand. After play ended rain fell heavily for hours, and the Americans were placed quite out of the running, although Graves, Haines and Clark all played up most pluokily. W o r c e st e r sh ir e .

Warwickshire won by an innings and 78 runs. On the first day of this match Warwickshire were seen to very great advantage. For once neither Buckenham nor Mead met with success with the ball, and the weakness of th^ rest of the Essex bowling was only too manifest. Still, the wicket was perfect, and it was not at all remarkable that Warwickshire should score 390 for the loss of eight wickets; Essex
